 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 740 | I stand corrected on this issue. Both of my comps do have reset buttons, but I never noticed them because they're so small. I thought the one was another LED until I took a close look at it. ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

 Member Dr Gumby Posts: 202 | I'm still wondering why they had Turbo buttons back in the old days, though one for my computer games could be nice right about this time of the century! ----- Atheism is a Non-Prophet Organisation |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11142 | The Turbo buttons activated turbo mode in the 80x86 CPUs, so it made sense. Such a mode doesn't exist in Pentiums / whatever-name anymore, so it doesn't make sense anymore. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 740 | I think the question is more of why didn't they just leave off the button and have it in turbo mode 24/7? ----- At the end of the day, you're left with a bent fork & a pissed off rhino. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11142 | I disabled it quite often. The battles in Fantasy Empires ran way too fast in Turbo mode on my old 486DX2/66 for example. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

 Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | Yeah!! That explains it! Nothing like solving a trouble shooting problem that is 8 years old and you quit playing Fantasy Empires because of the damn battles. Tuss ----- Keep your stick on the ice |
